A Curse So Dark and Lonely

In a lush romantic fantasy retelling of Beauty and the Beast , Brigid Kemmerer gives readers a compulsively readable romance perfect for fans of Marissa Meyer and Melissa Albert. The first in the thrilling Cursebreakers series

A Curse So Dark and Lonely has everything you’d want in a retelling of a classic fairy tale: a finely-drawn fantasy world, a heroine rarely seen in fiction , and a tortured hero with a secret . I have only one complaint: I wish the sequel were already available!

An intensely original retelling. Full of fierce new characters, wicked magic, and wondrous amounts of heart, Brigid Kemmerer doesn’t just tell a story, she builds an entire world that you will never want to leave

I couldn't get this creative, suspenseful take on Beauty and the Beast out of my head

The Beauty and the Beast retelling I've been waiting for. The world Brigid has crafted is so beautifully dark, filled with wild adventure and a modern-day heroine every reader will find a bit of themselves in

Slow burning, big hearted, magical fun! I loved every minute

Heartwarming, thoughtful and romantic : Brigid Kemmerer took me on a magical journey with this dark fairytale about growing up, falling in love, and making impossible choices

This is a gripping read, driven by a powerful and original heroine
